However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
  • The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
  • Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
  • The term “outside” refers to a region that is beyond the outermost confines of a physical object. The term “inside” indicates that at least a portion of a region is partially contained within a boundary formed by the object. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder.

  • Referring to FIG. 1, an atomizer includes a shell 10, a liquid supply 11 received in the shell 10, and an atomizing assembly. The liquid supply 11 is configured (i.e., structured and arranged) for storing tobacco liquid. The atomizing assembly includes a liquid conducting element 12, a heating disk 13, and a liquid absorbing body 14. The liquid supply 11 includes an open end 111. The liquid conducting element 12 inserts the open end 111. The liquid conducting element 12 is made of porous ceramic, porous metal, or porous fiber. The liquid conducting element 12 is adapted for absorbing and conveying the tobacco liquid. The liquid conducting element 12 includes a first end surface 1221 and a second end surface 1211. The first end surface 1221 is in contact with the tobacco liquid in the liquid supply 11. The heating disk 13 is arranged on the second end surface 1211, and is configured for heating the tobacco liquid in the liquid conducting element 12 to vaporize.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, the heating disk 13 is formed by winding a heating wire to form a disk shape. The liquid absorbing body 14 is sandwiched between the heating disk 13 and the second end surface 1211. In the present embodiment, the liquid absorbing body 14 is made of fiber cloth, e.g., glass fiber cloth, ceramic fiber cloth. The liquid absorbing body 14 is configured for absorbing tobacco liquid. The heating disk 13 is not in direct contact with the second end surface 1211. When the user of the atomizer activates the atomizer, the heating disk 13 heats the tobacco liquid in the liquid absorbing body 14 to form aerosol. When the atomizer stops working, the liquid absorbing body 14 prevents liquid leakage from the second end surface 1211 of the liquid conducting element 12.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the liquid conducting element 12 is T-shaped. The liquid conducting element 12 includes a bottom plate 121, and a column-shaped part 122 extending from the bottom plate 121. The first end surface 1221 is an end surface of the column-shaped part. The column-shaped part 122 is engaged in the open end 111. The second end surface 1211 is a bottom surface of the bottom plate 121. The bottom plate 121 defines a plurality of air holes 123 in the second end surface 1211, and two grooves 124 in a sidewall thereof Two ends of the heating disk 13 pass through two air holes 123, and are then received in the grooves 124. In this way, the heating disk 13 is fixed in the liquid conducting element 12, and the liquid absorbing body 14 is tightly sandwiched between the heating disk 13 and the second end surface 12211. The atomizer further includes a silica sleeve 15 engaged in the open end 111 of the liquid supply 11. The silica sleeve 15 and the column-shaped part 122 cooperatively seal tobacco liquid in the liquid supply 11. The silica sleeve 15 tightly nests the column-shaped part 122. The silica sleeve 15 includes a protruding stage 151 for positioning the liquid supply 11 when assembling the liquid supply 11.
  • Referring to FIG. 1 again, the atomizer further includes a mouthpiece 16. The mouthpiece 16 defines an air outlet 161, and is arranged at one end of the shell 10 adjacent to the liquid supply 11. The atomizer further includes an electrode assembly at an end of the shell 10 near the heating disk 13. The electrode assembly is configured for connecting with an external power supply. In the present embodiment, the electrode assembly includes at least one threaded electrode. The electrode assembly defines a through hole 171. The shell 10 and the liquid supply 11 cooperatively define an air passage 101. When the user smokes, air enters the air passage 101 via the through hole 171, and passes through the air hole 123. The aerosol formed by the heating disk 13 goes along the air passage 101, through the air outlet 161, and then reaches the mouth of the user.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, an electronic cigarette 100 includes an atomizer 20 according to the first embodiment, and a power supply 30. The power supply 30 is configured for supplying the atomizer 20 power.
  • It is understood that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate rather than limit the disclosure. Variations may be made to the embodiments and methods without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the scope of the disclosure.
